  • Experienced family home
  • Offering a varied and fun life
We are looking for a superstar pony for our petite 8 year old (120cm) approx 11.2 - 12.2hh

He is walking, trotting and cantering off the lead and currently trotting small courses up to about 40cm.

We are looking for a kind, experienced pony who can hold his hand and help his confidence soar and safely take him out to competitions - primarily dressage and showjumping. Must know their job and not constantly test as the nerves can sometimes creep in.

Will have a varied life to include lessons, beach rides, farm picnic rides, hacking, NSEA and pony club.
Must go for little legs and be suitable for a child to handle.

We would love a true child’s best friend - the sort you can do fancy dress on at your local show, go to camp or stay aways without them getting unsettled and most importantly, something that enjoys lots of cuddles and kisses!

Some minor health conditions considered as long as disclosed and reflected in the price.

We are an experienced family home and have a younger sibling waiting in the wings, so would like something that we can treasure for many years.

Sensible budget.
Ideally located within 2 hours of Dorset

Thistledown San Siro (Rocky) needs no introduction. He is without a doubt one of the most successful, genuine and consistent Welsh Section A’s in the country. His results speak for themselves and have been more than we could have ever dreamed of, winning HOYS and Royal International multiple times and taking 5 champions.

He has been the most amazing pony for us and a true rock for our family taking both children who had never competed at HOYS, from Lead Rein and First Ridden to the Junior and Open classes. Rocky is the ultimate schoolmaster, with the most amazing temperament. With us, Rocky has always been produced from home and solely by children, including when he went mini champion at HOYS 2023 with a young jockey and since then has taken another two children safely to RI and HOYS in the FR and one of the children to RI and HOYS this year in the juniors, without an adult to lunge/ride him.

This is such a difficult advert to write and as many people know, he is a huge part of our family and truly loved. However, he is only 15 and we would prefer him not to spend the rest of his days unridden in the field. He loves the varied life we give him on the farm and is used to farm animals and machinery. Rocky enjoys competing, hacking around the farm, pole work, and even mounted games! We have always treated Rocky as a fun pony and the children have shared him taking part in different classes at the shows where he has often gone from opens, to juniors to first ridden and vice versa, with a quick change of jockey and bridle. Rocky has also taken part in the working hunter classes winning the novice M&M cradle stakes and open M&M cradle stakes at the BSPS Summer Championships as well as narrowly missing qualifying for the Junior M&M WHP at HOYS.However, we would prefer him to only compete in flat classes now.

He has had countless Supremes, Champions and wins including winning most of the major county shows in either FR, Juniors, or Open A’s. Rocky has the most beautiful head, movement and lots of bone, being a true stamp of a Welsh Section A . He has enabled our daughter to win the Black Country Saddles Rider of the Year in 2020 and our son to be selected for the final of Showman of the Year in 2022 , as well as being nominated for the Showing World Awards Native Pony of the Year in 2022 and 2023.

We would like to lease Rocky with a view to a possible sale in the future, only to a suitable home.

We would love another child to have the opportunity to have the treasured and amazing memories Rocky has given us.

An exciting opportunity to purchase a well bred beautiful mare.

She has all the bling for the show ring, has been professionally started in her education proving an absolute little superstar.

She schools, hacks jumping round 65cm courses.

Has been ridden by a novice child and was a little gem.

This pony will go on to do any job I feel, lead rein, first ridden and workers she seems to love her jumping.

This pony will be at hoys and ri very quickly I feel in the right hands, she's been started the right way and is ready for someone to continue bringing her on.

Unfortunately our plans have changed and now she needs to find her new family that will bring out her full potential.

Priced for the quality she is.

Can be seen and tried with Olivia Holmes

Exceptionally well mannered and kind.

12.2hh rising 7yo pony

Definitely has huge Showing potential

Rides well both on and off the lead rein

Lovely little Maddie- What an absolute little star. As well as being utterly adorable to look at

For her age Maddie is a complete saint to ride and look after. She is regularly handled by a small nervous 7yo girl as well as a multitude of other children and young riders. They can catch her by themselves, lead her around, brush her and feed her completely un assisted. This super little lady never makes a fuss and is calm and kind at all times.

She is a wonderful little lead rein pony with manners to burn. Ideal to teach any little jockey. Also rides nicely off of the lead rein has 3 eye catching paces and would undoubtedly turn heads in the show ring. Happily pops round a nice course of fences and is proving to do so slowly and steadily both on and off the leid rein.

Super safe out on the roads, in heavy traffic and open spaces. Regularly taken out on forest trails by 9 yo and 7yo novice. Very low maintenance, happily lives in or out with mares and geldings. Good with dogs, farm machinery and most importantly, loves children.



Absolutely no vices. 100% shoe box catch clip

Jack is a stunning young pony, black, 4 white socks. 5yo Gelding.

Jack has been completely produced by a now 10yo girl who has sadly outgrown him.

He has done Dressage and Showjumping competitions as well as Cross Country Schooling, polo cross and mounted games at pony club camp too.

He is totally a childs pony to handle and do, never strong to lead etc.

Jack is still young so no complete novice homes please. He is fab for a child to ride off the leadrein and never strong, he just lacks abit of confidence jumping fillers with a small child but we feel this is just a case of getting out and doing more arena hires, shows etc. Cross country he is fab.

Jack has tonnes of scope and easily pops 70cm at home with his 10yo jockey.

We really feel this pony is going to come into his own over the next few years, we have just run out of time with him!

No vices, good to Hack, for farrier etc.

  • Lead rein or first ridden for more confident child
  • Sold from field
A pair of unregistered Section A mares (16yrs and 10yrs) offered for sale together. They are mother and daughter and have lived their whole lives together; we simply cannot bear to sell them apart, so they will only be sold as a pair.

The older mare is 16 years old. She has previously done Pony Club activities and local shows, enjoys popping small cross poles, and is happy hacking both on and off the lead rein. She is experienced, but like many Welsh ponies she does have a cheeky streak, so would be best suited to a more confident child when off the lead rein. Generally she is much more woah than go however.

The younger mare is 10 years old and very low mileage due to our lack of time. She was lightly backed by us and was quiet and straightforward, taking everything in her stride. She has not been pushed on but shows a great attitude.

Both ponies are currently out of work and living in the field due to lack of time, so they will need to be slowly and sympathetically brought back into work. For this reason, a knowledgeable and understanding home is essential. They are sold as seen from the field.

They are not world beaters, but are real characters with funny personalities and will be best friends for a new child.

This is a very sad sale and as such no time wasters or dealers please.
£2000 for the pair.

Please contact via text message in the first instance, due to working hours.

13yr old Palomino Gelding was bought for Daughter as a lead rein pony, he was great done mostly lead rein hacking he's forward going but safe my daughter was only 1yr old when we got him and i walked miles with him, He will also run round arena with kids on a rope and jump over little jumps he's a good fun wee guy

He hasn't done any ridden work really for about 18months due to being such a great nanny / companion for our foal last year and then again this year, he was ridden for a couple of weeks last summer to see if he would go of lead read and tbh he wasn't naughty but she's a lead rein pony he didn't have a clue and we didn't work at it 

He has been great as a companion to our foals, youngsters and broodmares the last couple of years and takes next to no management he's never had laminitis and is out at grass 24/7, he's good to catch, never bitten or kicked, He could easily be brought back into work but we just don't have the time to keep him in work till he sells so he's sold as is from the field but you could shove a saddle on him tomorrow, i have a couple of short videos of him under saddle to show he is broken and safe.

He currently out in field unrugged living his best hairy pony life so expect a dirty hairy pony when you visit. also have his inky dinky saddle for sale that i would do a deal with.

Roy, I ended up with this little guy 4 years ago purely to be a companion for my horse but he ended up turning into a pony that is made to be so much more than this. I backed him easter 2025 & he has never put foot wrong.

He has done the basics, been round a XC course and has now just started his hunting campaign with the BSV and will continue to do so.

This pony is so deserving to be loved by a child or two! Don’t let his age put you off, he’s a lovely little chap.

Evie has been with us for the past 3 years where she has done all low level Pony Club activities including dressage, showjumping, eventing and pony club camp.

She goes beautifully on the flat and did quite a bit of dressage in her previous home.

She is super safe and has done beach rides, forest rides, pony club camp, never gets excited or silly and looks after her rider at all times.

Good to shoe, clip, travel (in trailer or lorry), no vices, lives in or out and on her own or in company - very easy to do.

Would suit someone wanting to learn the ropes as a first pony or someone who loves hacking, lessons and dressage - will easily carry an adult. She will jump happily up to 60/70cm.

All homes will be vetted for this lovely pony.
